I love to
read, and have so since a very young age. And
now, Im going to share with you one of my favourite book. The wind in the willow.
This much-loved story follows a group of animal friends in the
English countryside as they pursue adventure … and as adventure pursues them!
The chief characters – Mole, Rat, and Toad – generally lead upbeat and happy
lives, but their tales are leavened with moments of terror, homesickness, awe,
madcap antics, and derring-do.
Although classed as children’s literature, The Wind in the Willows holds a gentle fascination for adults too. The vocabulary is decidedly not “Dick and Jane”, and a reader with a love of words will find new ones to treasure, even if well-equipped for the journey. Parents will appreciate the themes of loyalty, manners, self-restraint, and comradeship which are evident throughout the book. When the characters err, they are prompt to acknowlege it, and so a reading of this book can model good behavior to children.
